A Note on MPAC's Uncritical Support of 'The 9/11Commission Report'

by Enver Masud

Last Sunday, I had the opportunity to ask a representative of the Muslim Public

Affairs Council (MPAC) whether or not they believed the principal conclusion of

"The 9/11 Commission Report" that 19 Arab hijackers led by Osama Bin Ladenwere responsible for the attacks of September 11, 2001.

After some evasion, the answer I got from Alejandro J. Beutel, MPAC'sGovernment Liaison, was that MPAC supports the U.S. government's position on

9/11. Further conversation revealed how little homework MPAC has done on

what is arguably the biggest issue of the decade for Muslims whom MPAC

professes to represent.

I informed Mr. Beutel that there's overwhelming evidence that the official accountof 9/11 is false, and a significant number of Americans do not believe "The 9/11Commission Report". Among them are 220 senior military, intelligence, law

enforcement, and government personnel; 1200 architects and engineers; 250 pilots

and aviation personnel; 400 professors; 300 survivors of 9/11, and these numberskeep growing.

Mr. Beutel's response was that he had read my book "9/11 Unveiled", as well asthe Popular Mechanics, "peer-reviewed" [sic] article -- presumably "Debunking

the 9/11 Myths: Special Report" published in February 2005.

Popular Mechanics articles are not peer-reviewed, and their 9/11 article has been

throughly debunked -- most notably by David Ray Griffin in his book"Debunking 9/11 Debunking: An Answer to Popular Mechanics and Other

Defenders of the Official Conspiracy Theory".

Following the publication of this article, it was revealed that the senior researcher

for the article was Benjamin Chertoff -- cousin of Michael Chertoff, Secretary ofthe Department of Homeland Security.

Some would say that Mr. Chertoff may be "a person of interest" in any realinvestigation of 9/11 which "The 9/11 Commission Report" is not.

According to Philip Shenon, an investigative reporter with The New York Times,

a detailed outline of "The 9/11 Commission Report" complete with "chapterheadings, subheadings, and sub-subheadings" had been prepared with the

commission's staff barely in place ("The Commission: The Uncensored History of

the 9/11 Investigation," 2008, p389).

This clearly is not how investigations are conducted.

When I asked Mr. Beutel if he had read the NIST reports, he responded he had

read the NTSB [sic] report, and asked if I had read it.

I replied I had searched the NIST reports, and found enough to debunk the report:(1) NIST did not validate the model, (2) NIST adjusted inputs to get the output

they desired, (3) NIST admitted they did NOT model the collapse itself (they

modeled the immediate period prior to initiation of collapse).

Mr. Beutel's response was that since I had not read the entire report I was taking

sentences "things out of context" like some do with the Quran.

I guess Mr. Beutel did not realize that for the Quran to be properly understood one

must study its entire message. In science and mathematics, all it takes is one flaw

in fact or logic to debunk the entire conclusion.

It quickly became obvious that MPAC was not interested in the facts about 9/11

or else they would have done much more research, and called in experts toexplain what they are clearly not qualified to understand -- for example the peer-

reviewed paper by Niels H. Harrit, et al, "Active Thermitic Material Discovered

in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe" published in The OpenChemical Physics Journal, that I mailed to Mr. Beutel after the meeting.

Niels H. Harrit, et al, found "unreacted thermitic material" in the dust of the

World Trade Center indicating the use of rare and highly sophisticated explosives-- something that more than 100 firefighters testified to, and which were reported

by mainstream news media on 9/11.

When I asked Mr. Beutel how many members did MPAC have, he replied that

they have a mailing list of 10,000. As best we can tell MPAC has donors based

primarily in Southern California, and probably represents their position -- not that

of American Muslims at large.

The discussion with Mr. Beutel occurred at the monthly Chai Time held in thePotomac Community Center in Maryland. It is attended mostly by members of the

Pakistani community. I was the featured speaker at the launching of Chai Time by

Rashid and Bano Makhdoom on February 4, 2001.
